One x One with: Blacksoal

Vaix looked back up at Keith curiously at the mention of Iggy, "yeah? What's that?" It wasn't that he cared, he was just curious over the matter, there was a lot of stupid things you could say to someone as sensitive as his brother. He just wondered which one it was.

"Oh, she asked him about his own love life and if he hoped to find someone to love one day. She didn't even think about it. I was a bit shocked, I mean Roxa is generally really concious of Iggy's feelings. If she's not of anybody elses" He said, shrugging a bit.
Shaye nodded and rested her head against Vaix's shoulder, grinning at him happily.
"Wow I can't remember Roxa ever being so callous, to Iggy" She said, grumbling under her breath,

Vaix blinked, then laughed in disbeliefe, "Roxa asked about something like that? No way." He shook his head and gave an amused smile, "and it sent Iggy suicidal, did it?" He could easily guess the younger vampire would go to such an extreme, and thinking it over, it was a bit depressing to think about. He shook his head again, then gave a shrug, "I guess she's just a bit frazzled up right now. With getting kicked out of her family, it must have been a tremendous reality chck for her..."

"Yea, I couldn't believe it" Keith said, shaking his head and laughing softly.
Shaye rolled her eyes and nudged Keith with her booted foot.
"Feeling better now?' She asked, smiling as he nodded, "Yea, loads, Thanks guys" He grinned at them. He glanced around the room.
"You know we're here for one night" He commented, looking at the stuff spread everywhere.
"Yea well, I couldn't find anything to wear" Shaye said, shrugging her shoulders casually and laughing a bit.

Vaix looked at the room, and utter an amused laugh of his own, kissing Shaye's cheek playfully as he did. "Silly girl, now you're going to have to pack it all up again..." He hugged her softly, then stood and began repacking all of her clothes, folding them up and placing them back in her bag, looking up at her as he did so. Then to Keith he said, "I'm glad you're feeling better, you had us worried for a while..."

"Yea well, call it my once a year mental breakdown" Keith said, shaking his head and shrugging.
"It generally happens around the time of Lina's death each year" He explained. Generally he left the house when it was this time of year, but now he didn't have that oppertunity.
Shaye laughed, "Uh, looks like you're packing for me" She teased Vaix, standing up to help him. She smiled as she saw him carefully folding each article of clothes while she just tossed them into her bag.

Vaix watched the ways she decided to care for her things, he smiled and shook his head. Though he tended to be the same, he just took a greater care with other people's belongings over his own. He smiled as he continued to put things away, shaking his head at Shaye as she tossed things into her bag.
"Oh yeah, Lina's passing." He sighed softly and looked over at Keith with a frown. "I can only imagine how hard it must be to have lost her. I'm sorry for you Keith, I wish I could have met her..."

A small smile lit Keith's face.
"I wish you two could have met her as well" He murmured, stretched out on the couch. He sighed, it hurt missing a part of your heart, but thinking about her helped, even if it made him more emotional.
"She was incredible" He murmured.

Shaye smiled and glanced at Vaix, "I think I know how you feel" She breathed, her breath catching in her throat. She'd never tire of watching Vaix, or even being near him. It was incredible, this feeling that she was feeling.

Vaix blinked and looked over as he felt Shaye stare, he smiled at the look she given him, making it suddenly very playful and flirtatious as he looked up at her from under his lashes and blew a teasing kiss at her. He glanced over at Keith again, after giving Shaye a more serious loving look to show her he wasn't meaning anything by his actions, "yeah?" He gave Keith a smile, "what did you like best about her?"

Shaye laughed softly and returned the kss. She glanced at Keith, he never really spoke if Lina, just said enough for her and Vaix to understand a bit about her.
"Yea Keith?" She pressed gently, smiling at her brother.

"Honestly Vaix, what didn't I like about her?" Keith murmured, sighing. "I mean you know how you feel about Shaye? It's like that with any vampire relationship. The depth and degree are intense" He sighed, "Lina was perfect for me. She completed who I was, she made me, me" Keith tried to explaine.

"But there was nothing that was outstanding above the rest? Not any particular thing you long for the most about her?" Vaix had, the thing that had drawn him to Shaye, that he'd loved and longed for every second of the day, was her caring. How thoughtful and gentle she was, yet how independent, but not in a way to make you feel neglected. He was sure that if that quality left her, it would hurt him for a long time before he grew to get over it.

"Oh, it was her ability to love, regardless of who you were or what you had done. She loved you unconditonally" He explained softly. He sighed, he remembered meeting her.
"She didn't care what I had done in my past, she loved me for me. And she was the same with everyone" He murmured. She was incredible, and he missed her deeply.
"She was everything to me" He murmured gently.

"Hm," Vaix gave a nod, easily picturing that quality in someone for Keith. Learning about Lina this way, it gave his mind's picture a clearer view. He gave a curious tilt of his head for a moment as he watched Keith, "If you could have her back for one day, how would you spend the time?" It was a simple question of curiosity, just for the innocence of knowing.

Keith sighed softly, trying to work out the answer to the question.
"Honestly Vaix, I would probably just hold her, tell her how much I love her, and just be with her. It wouldn't matter what we do, just as long as we were together" He said, sighing softly again. Gods how he missed Lina. He glanced at the two of them, noticing Shaye's sympathetic expression.

Vaix gave a nod, knowing that, heaven forbid, if Shaye left him he'd do the same. Keith looked sad, which made him regret asking, talking to Keith was supposed to help Keith feel happier, not pick at a forever tortured wound with simple questions. "Am I going to deep?" Vaix asked the older vampire gently, "I don't want to upset you."

"No, it's fine. I don't mind talking about her" Keith said, smiling suddenly. He loved talking about Lina, but not to Iggy or Roxa, neither really understood how the vampiric relationship worked. He sighed and drew his knee to his chest, resting his head on the small valley between them. He sighed, and shook his head.
"Feel free to ask me anything" He said softly.

Vaix gave a soft sigh of relief and nodded in rerurn, watching Keith a bit more as he packed away the remainder of Shaye's scattered belongings. He zipped up the bag and was silent a bit longer, in seeing Keith's smile he'd been releaved. But it didn't stop him from pittying Keith over the pain he no doubt felt right now. "What did she look like again?" Vaix asked Keith softly, curious as to how correct his mental image of her was.

Keith looked a bit startled, and smiled. He pulled out his wallet and opened it, sliding an old photograph from it.
"Here" He handed it to Vaix. Lina was a petite blonde, with perfectly styled, shoulder length here. She had pale lips and high cheek bones, her eyes were a startling crystal blue. Shaye walked over, peering at the picture over Vaix's shoulder.
"She's so pretty" She murmured, tempted to mimic the girl's appearance, but knowing that might make Keith mad.

Vaix took the picture, smiling as his image was easily replaced by the new one. He gave a nod to Shaye's comment, then turned his head to kiss her cheek, "no where near as pretty as you though." He didn't mean it in anyway to offened Keith, it was more to presereve Shaye's confidance, he knew how critical girls were over their bodies, and they needed reasurring from time to time. He did however, think Shaye was prettier than Lina, which in his opinion was a good thing.
He smiled up at Keith and returned the photo, "thanks." He gave a cheery smile to Keith.

Keith grinned and accepted the picture from Vaix.
"It's alright" He murmured, knowing Vaix didn't mean any offence with his 'pretty' comment. He slipped the picture back into his wallet, "I should move this soon, Iggy might find it, and I'll never hear the end of it"

Shaye laughed, "Thanks" She murmured, smiling at Vaix. She didn't really need to be reassured about her appearance, but she liked getting compliments. She Grabbed her purse and began to toss her stuff into it. She glanced around, noticing her sunglasses laying on the floor.
"Oh, there they are" She murmured, shaking her head at her forgetfulness and leaned over, grabbing them.

Vaix watched Shaye, then looked up at Keith with a nod, "oh for sure. You let Iggy get ahold of that and there goes all your privacy. Trust me, with Iggy, one picture will be enough for him to figure everything out..." He shook his head at how extreme his brother's mind worked. It was something he was willing to take blame for though, he was sure Iggy only thought the way he did because of all the times he'd been a victim of attempted slaughter. He sighed softly, watching Shaye pick up the last scraps of her belongings. He smiled and shook his head at her, then looked back at Keith. "You feel ready to face them again? Or would you like to stay here for tonight?"

"Are you kidding? I'm not staying in the same room as you people all night" Keith muttered, shaking his head.
"You guys are ridiculous enough already" He nodded his head in agreement, sliding his wallet into his pocket.
"Hey, we're not ridiculous" Shaye teased, tossing a boot at Keith. He laughed and doged it.
"Thanks" He said, seriously, before turning and leaving.
"We leave early, so if you're gonna sleep, sleep" He growled, shutting the door behind him.

Shaye smiled and made her way over to Vaix.
"We're not ridiculous" She murmured, teasingly kissing his lips. She pulled back and went back to picking up her stuff, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"Ridiculous?" Vaix gave a laugh as he watched Keith leave, then blinked as Shaye smooched him and took off. He purred, standing with a soft sigh and a stretch, then making his way back over to the couch where he sat contently watching her with a loving admiring look. He patted the couch seat beside him welcomingly for her, slinging his arms over the back of the couch lazily afterwards.

Iggy lay in Michelle's lap for a very long time, then looked up at him, then smiled, then stood up, taking the pillow in one hand and Michelle's smoke hand in the other. "I like you, you can come with me." There really wasn't anymore conversation after that, he began to tug Michelle along, Michelle halting every couple seconds to lift his smoke back to his mouth before letting Iggy drag him again. Iggy purred contently, having been a child or an aristocratic family, he was used to finding people or things he liked, then just taking them as his own. Unless the king grew upset, or other aristocrates, he had his way. People could be owned just as much as a cat in his mind.
Iggy made his way to the room Roxa was in, she was there, sleeping on the couch, he paused as he heard Vaix and Shaye's room door open, and Keith's scent wash over his nose. He frowned, then ran to his room with Michelle and stuffed him in there, closing the door and crawling over to Roxa's side as if nothing had happened.

Michelle sat confused on the floor, already giving up on trying to understand the odd child that had just claimed him as his own. He wasn't sure if he should give in and allow it, or rebel after the last time he'd been owned. But Iggy seemed to be a frail vampire, to the point where Michelle was probably both stronger and faster than him. He shrugged it off, if anything where to happen control wise, it would be him over the kid.

Shaye bounced over to the couch as soon as Vaix had patted the couch. A familiar scent washed over her and she wrinkled her nose.
"Oh god, he's in the hotel" She murmured, wrinkling her nose as Michelle's scent washed over her. It came with Iggy's scent, which made her believe that Iggy had something to do with Michelle being here. She glanced at Vaix, wondering what he would do. He probably wouldn't be to happy with Michelle being in the hotel.

Keith also noticed Michelle's scent, especially when he entered his own room. He looked around, seeing the door closed to Iggy's room, but Iggy on the couch with Roxa.
"Ig?" He questioned. Iggy had a bad habit of collecting things, whether it be objects or people. That was how Roxa had joined the family in the first place.

Vaix gave a soft laugh, shaking his head as the scent passed over him. "Michelle sure is playing a risky deck of cards." He glanced over at Shaye in a calm sort of way, "don't worry over it love. The minute he passes through that door," he pointed to the door of their room, "will be the last minute of his life." He kissed her cheek lovingly, wrapping a single arm around her as he watched the door, almost as if he expected Michelle to come.

Iggy looked up at Keith innocently when his nickname came to attention, "yeah Keith?" He could tell the older vampire already knew exactly what was going on, but he wasn't going to talk about it until the matter was directly addressed. He purred, twisting onto his back at he watched Keith.
